After going through all the lessons, I gained the necessary skills to perform well at my on-sites. I crushed even the DP problems, which were my biggest fear. And thanks to that I landed offers from Microsoft and Uber. Thank you AlgoCademy!
Cristina Radulescu Landed offers from Microsoft and Uber
AlgoCademy really helped me improve my problem solving skills and write incredibly clean code. I was worried it wouldn’t be done in time for my coding interviews, but the way the curriculum is structured made me progress very quickly. Thanks for your work!

A FEW QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU START.

Frequently asked questions

So, you have questions? Let us try to answer those for you...
Ask the AlgoCademy team ↗

Will this course equip me with the programming fundamentals I need for my academic work?

Yes! The content is designed to cover all the programming basics that are essential for academic research and teaching. From simple loops and conditionals to advanced algorithms and data structures, our lessons are tailored for those in academia. Our graduates tell us how integrated coding skills have transformed their approach to research and education.

I've never studied programming. Is AlgoCademy beginner friendly?

Beginners welcome! While we do assume a very basic general understanding of how computers store variables and loops, you don’t have to worry about anything else. You’ll learn the rest here. It’s also going to be easier than you think! The original inspiration for AlgoCademy came from helping a friend who quit his job as a singer to follow his dream. We’ve always had beginners and self-taught programmers in mind (as well as CS majors) while building our content. We can meet you on your level and take you from there!

Is all of the content available straight away or is it time-released (drip fed)?

No drip-feeding here! You get access to everything inside AlgoCademy right away. Jump in and start making use of the training without having to wait for something to be released to you. We also regularly update and add new material, so your content library will continue to grow alongside your knowledge.

What languages do I need to know?

You do not need to know any specific language to benefit from our lessons. Our explanations focus mostly on core intuition and pseudocode so that every coder out there, no matter the language, will understand everything.

Why should I become a member today instead of waiting?

Every day you hold off on membership is another day you’re not working toward your dream job. It’s time for you to take action. We provide the answers to all of your questions, including the ones you don’t know you have yet, that will pave the way to a high-paying programming job. Becoming a member will help you find the support, community, and most importantly, accountability necessary to reach your goals. AlgoCademy is the place where you can find all of these things. If you are ready to make a difference in your life, the time is now. Simple as that.

Is it really worth the money?

The benefits of mastering programming fundamentals extend far beyond immediate financial rewards. While academic environments may not offer the same salary metrics as industry, the value lies in improved research efficiency, enhanced teaching, and a competitive edge in securing research grants and academic positions. Investing in your coding skills can elevate your academic career in countless ways.

What happens if I decide to cancel my membership?

Obviously, we’d love it if all of our members stuck around forever. We’ve worked with students for long enough to know that it’s never going to happen. If we’ve done our job right, we should be saying goodbye to our students as they go off to start their new careers. If you decide to cancel, we’ll miss you, but we make the process easy. You can cancel with 2 clicks of a mouse.
